X=number of corect
y=number of incorrect
5 points for each correct so 5x
-1 point for each incorrect so -y

5x-y=76
solve for x and y

I like putting it into slope intercep tofrm which is y=mx+b
add y to both sides
5x=76+y
subtract 76 from both sides
5x-75=y
y=5x-76

subsitute values for x and get values for y
remember, that julia cannot answer a negative number of incorrect questions so y must be greater than or equal to 0

so solve for minimum
0<u><</u>5x-76
add 76 to both sides
76<u><</u>5x
divide by 5
15.2<u><</u>x
you cannot answer a fraction of a correct quesiton so round up
16 is the minumum number of queswtions correctlyh answered


so
x<u>></u>16

subsitute 16 for x
y=5(16)-76
y=80-76
y=4

as we subsitute more numbers over 16, we get these points
so (x,y) 
(16,4)
(17,9)
(18,14)
(19,19)
(20,24)
(21,29)
(22,34)
(23,39)
x=correct answer
y=wrong answers

Maria works as a ride loader on "Space Mountain". She averages twenty passengers every twenty minutes. Sal also works as a ride
Sati [7]

Answer:

36 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria averages 20 passengers every 20 minutes, so she places 1 passenger per minute.

Sal averages 20 passengers every 25 minutes, so he places 0.8 passenger per minute.

If they work together, they can place (1 + 0.8) passengers = 1.8 passengers per minute.

In 20 minutes, they can load

1.8 passengers/minute * 20 minutes = 36 passengers

The altitude (i.e., height) of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

A = 1/2 B H       area = 1/2 base X height

B = 2 A / H = 2 * 99 / 12 = 16.5 cm

dA / d t = 1/2 * (B dH / dt + H dB / dt)

dB / dt = (2 dA / dt - B dH / dt) / H

dB / dt = (2 * 1.5 cm^2 / min - 16.5 cm * 2 cm / min) / 12 cm

dB / dt = (3 - 33) / 12 cm/min = -2.5 cm/min
